Does anyone know how to polish aluminum?

I want my supercharger polished, but I don't know anywhere locally that can do it and it's my daily driver. Any advice?

Here is a how-to, also you could send it to Steigmeier and have them do it but then you would be w/o a blower

just hold a blow torch on it for about 20 minutes, then lick as fast as possible.

yea i havent done it either but i'm not going to anymore....i've researched it and it doesnt appear that hard...you need a dremel and some good compounds plus alot of time....all it is more or less is making it really smooth an ridding of the imperfections and then polishing the crap out of it, essentially thats what it is
